What's a good degree course for me to take if I want to do concept art & design for video games?

Question

I'd like to do a course which can lead me to this career but also have a broader range of job opportunities as I don't want to be restricted to just concept art for games if I can't succeed in that field.
What's a good course for me?

Thanks so much

Get a good ART education. Not hippie concept art everything goes education, but something that'll push you, so you'll learn not to just "express yourself", but also develop a firm grasp of anatomy, perspective, composition, lighting, everything. In other words, become a good artist. The really good ones can get jobs anywhere, in games, in the film industry, in illustration. You'll only be restricted by your skill. An artist that does concept art for games doesn't really use anything special or different than all the other regular artists. I just think that they probably benefit if they have a jack of all trades approach, so they can do different styles. But thats a big advantage in any field, really.
